While providing accounting and tax advisory services to business owners through his company, World Class CFOs, Jacob Sannon takes a modern and confident approach to both his business practices and his personal style.

“I am a high energetic individual that likes to bring positivity and fun into every room I’m in,” Sannon says.

As a former D1 collegiate athlete, Sannon knows that slim fits work best for his athletic frame, so he sticks with those cuts on the daily. “My signature look is a slim blue suit, stylish low cut Steve Madden shoes, a turtleneck sweater, a sparkly necklace, and my Michael Kors gold watch.”

With a preference for classic and polished fashion, Sannon turns to NFL players and athletic influencers for inspiration.

“Growing up I would watch the NFL draft and see guys in the most stylist suites that typically stood out and brought out their athletic look,” he says.

Despite his desire to wear monochromatic ensembles and well-fitting suits every day, Sannon keeps things simple on his days off – jeans, Jordans and a long-fit shirt round out his dress code on the weekend.

What are your favorite brands? Steve Madden or Aldo for dress shoes that are low cut with no laces with a little bit of sparkle. A stylish pair of shoes that stands out based on texture, shine and color can make or break the outfit. Calvin Klein or Perry Ellis for suits and dress shirts that are slim, comfortable and flexible.

What is your most prized possession in your closet? My Calvin Klein black turtleneck sweater. It’s an all-occasion staple that I can put on with either jeans or dress pants and goes with almost any shoe. Also, it’s very comfortable and fits really well to bring out my athletic look.

Do you follow anyone on social media that inspires your style? Yes, I’m always watching for trends. Steve Harvey typically has great suits and I love his color combinations. Kevin Hart is my go-to for athletic, everyday styles that are classy.
